Well... What you need to know is that my pictures here are from my forever-lasting graphical novel project. It is a story that's been inspired be a cd. Moonsorrow's 'Kivenkantaja'... Is is placed partly in the history but also in scandinavian mythology. Both finnish and viking myth. At the end of the viking era, there was the christians. They came and spread their religion by sword. There was a bear hunter who came home and witnessed this crime. His village was in flames, his family was killed. With his bear spear he started a one-man vendetta against the men of the cross. He survived the fight but there was nothing left of his town of his family. So he walks away bleeding, looking for the humble. He travels far. He's about to turn back but sees an image of his dead family glowing on a top of a hill. His daughther points over the hill. He walks there and finds an army, 'forest of spears'... With no second thougt he attacks them, fights long and hard and kills them.
